Just an .md file would be preferable by me.

We should be able to propose implementation changes via PRs that people can clone, test and compare, and we can merge in what makes sense - removing blue-socket is a good example.

I think it would be worthwhile to maintain multiple versions, especially during testing. E.g. the Blue one may make sense to checkout SSL setups, while a GCD one would be the default imp? Something like that, kinda relates to when/how we get a common socket API?

But anyways, not really important.

Ah, OK. What I meant is a tool target alongside the implementation, like:

  Sources/
    HTTPSketch/
      HTTPRequest.swift
      ...
    EchoDemo/
      main.swift - something which actually runs
